Credit Card Processing for a New Business | Merchant Services
Choosing credit card processing for a new business
Opening a new business is the best time to build the payment structure correctly. Processor pricing, hardware, settlement, gateway requirements and customer payment options are much easier to evaluate before you are locked into an operating workflow.
What should a new business compare?
- Total card-processing cost and effective rate
- In-person versus online payment needs
- Debit, ACH and other eligible payment options
- POS and gateway compatibility
- Hardware and monthly account costs
- Settlement timing and reconciliation
- Surcharge or customer-fee strategy where permitted
Do not choose a processor from one advertised number
Your transaction profile matters. A business with a $20 average ticket can have very different economics from one with a $2,000 average ticket. WONWOW reviews the expected payment mix before recommending a structure.
